Altronix MAXFIT7724AS 12-Output 12/24VDC Power Distribution Module

Overview

The Altronix MAXFIT7724AS is a compact, high-density DC power distribution module designed for multi-device surveillance and access control installations where conduit space is tight but output count matters. Rated at 20 amps total output across 12 individual outputs, the MAXFIT7724AS accepts 12VDC or 24VDC input and distributes selectable 5–24VDC to each output — giving integrators the flexibility to mix device voltages across a single board rather than stacking multiple single-voltage supplies. At just 7.30 × 4.10 × 1.25 inches and under a pound, this module is sized to fit inside enclosures that full-size power supplies simply won't.

Key Features

• 12 Individual Outputs: Twelve discrete output connections on a single board mean you can run a full camera or card-reader loop from one module — fewer terminal blocks, cleaner wiring, and faster troubleshooting when one device goes down without taking the rest offline.
• 20A Total Output Capacity: At 20 amps aggregate, this module can comfortably handle a mix of PTZ cameras, access control panels, and IR illuminators simultaneously. Budget roughly 1–3A per PoE-equivalent device and you have headroom for a 10–12 device load before approaching the ceiling.
• 5–24VDC Adjustable Output Voltage: Output voltage is selectable from 5 to 24VDC, which means you're not locked into a single device class. Deploy 12V for most CCTV cameras, 24V for access control strikes, or lower voltages for sensor loads — all from the same board.
• 12VDC and 24VDC Input Compatibility: Accepts either 12VDC or 24VDC input, so you can source power from whichever primary supply or battery-backed transformer already lives in the enclosure. No need to add a dedicated input regulator just to match voltage.
• Compact MAXFIT Form Factor: The 7.30 × 4.10 × 1.25 inch footprint is engineered for Altronix MAXFIT enclosures and similarly tight backboxes. At 0.95 lbs, it installs cleanly on a DIN rail or enclosure backplate without adding meaningful load to a wall-mounted cabinet.
• High Output Count in Minimal Volume: Twelve outputs in a module measuring just over 7 inches wide is a meaningful density advantage on larger surveillance projects. Compare that to wiring twelve individual 1-channel supplies — the MAXFIT7724AS reduces both termination time and potential failure points by consolidating distribution to a single board.

Integration and Compatibility

The MAXFIT7724AS is purpose-built to integrate into Altronix MAXFIT series enclosure systems, which are a common choice on mid-size surveillance power supply deployments where multiple cameras or access readers share a common enclosure. The dual-voltage input (12VDC/24VDC) makes it straightforward to pair with Altronix AL-series or MAXIMAL-series supplies already in the field. If your project includes IP cameras on PoE switches, this module handles the non-PoE devices in the same run — door contacts, IR illuminators, analog cameras, and PTZ receivers — keeping your surveillance system power distribution centralized. For integrators planning a access control installation alongside video, the 5–24VDC output range covers most electric strike and magnetic lock voltage requirements without a separate converter. Consult a power planning guide when sizing total amperage across mixed device loads to avoid nuisance trips near the 20A ceiling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What input voltages does the MAXFIT7724AS accept?

A: The MAXFIT7724AS accepts either 12VDC or 24VDC input, giving you flexibility to source power from whichever supply or battery-backed transformer is already in your enclosure.

Q: How many outputs does the MAXFIT7724AS provide, and what is the total current capacity?

A: It provides 12 individual outputs with a combined total output capacity of 20 amps. Each output can be configured within the 5–24VDC range.

Q: Can the MAXFIT7724AS power both 12V cameras and 24V access control devices simultaneously?

A: Yes. The adjustable 5–24VDC output range allows you to set individual outputs to match device requirements — though note that the 20A total is shared across all 12 outputs, so load planning is important when mixing high-draw devices.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of the MAXFIT7724AS?

A: The module measures 7.30 × 4.10 × 1.25 inches and weighs 0.95 lbs — compact enough to fit inside standard Altronix MAXFIT enclosures.

Q: Is the MAXFIT7724AS designed for use inside an enclosure?

A: Yes. This is a board-level distribution module intended for installation inside a compatible enclosure. It is not a standalone outdoor or surface-mount unit.

The MAXFIT7724AS is the module I reach for when a project has more devices than a standard 4- or 8-output supply can handle and not enough enclosure depth for a second full-size unit. That 7.30 × 4.10 × 1.25 inch footprint is the spec that earns its place — you get 12 outputs and 20A of distribution in less than 1.3 inches of depth, which matters more than most specs on a crowded backplate.

Technical Highlights:

• 12 Outputs at 20A Total: Running 10 analog cameras and 2 IR illuminators off one module keeps your wiring discipline tight and makes load troubleshooting straightforward — kill one output, isolate the device, no cascade effect on the rest of the run.
• 5–24VDC Adjustable Output: Mixed-voltage sites (12V cameras, 24V strikes) no longer require a second supply or inline converters. Set outputs individually to match each device class — a real time saver during commissioning on access-plus-video projects.
• Dual Input Voltage (12VDC or 24VDC): Pairing this with an existing Altronix AL or MAXIMAL supply is plug-compatible regardless of whether your primary supply runs at 12 or 24V — no isolation relay, no adapter harness needed.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 20A total is aggregate across all 12 outputs — sketch your load budget before commissioning. A mix of PTZ cameras (1.5–3A each) and 24V strikes (0.5–1A each) adds up fast on a full 12-output load.
• This is a board-level module, not a standalone unit. It must be installed inside a compatible Altronix MAXFIT enclosure or equivalent backbox — do not plan for exposed or surface-mount deployment.

The MAXFIT7724AS is the right call on mid-size retail or commercial office builds where a single closet services 8–12 cameras plus door hardware and space in the IDF cabinet is genuinely limited. It consolidates what would otherwise be two or three separate power runs into one managed distribution point.
